Bronzed Drongo
is a rather plain and inconspicuous bird of low- and mid-elevation broadleaf
forests up to 2000m elevation. In poor light, it appears black, as the
Black Drongo of open lowland habitats. However, Bronzed Drongo is slightly
smaller, shorter-tailed and smaller-billed than its lowland relative. Its
tail is only slightly upturned at the tip. Seen in good light, the Bronzed
Drongo’s black body has a glossy metallic sheen which may appear deep blue
or green.

It may be seen
hawking for insects through the upper and middle canopy or perched in the
open on branches or electric wires, alone or in a small flock. It sometimes
mixes with Gray-chinned Minivets. Its variable call seems gentle and
pleasing.

Bronzed Drongo
may be seen in suitable habitat and elevation along the road leading up to
Tswengwen Dam, southeast of Chiayi; in the vicinity of Wufeng, Taichung
County; Huisun Forest Station and Auwanda National Forest Recreation Area,
Nantou County and similar areas of Taiwan.
